0 -> The GTI is one of the cars that pops into our
head when someone uses the expression "hot hatch."
5.94 -> Volkswagen's sport compact has been produced
since the late 1970s, and for 2022 the brand
11.88 -> introduced the Mk8 model of the Golf-based
performance car. It's back for 2023 with some
18.12 -> snazzy new lighting and a lot to prove against
the Honda Civic Si and Hyundai Elantra N.
23.28 -> The Volkswagen Golf GTI pioneered the
hot-hatchback genre and now, after decades
28.44 -> of existence, it is still the whipped cream atop
this sundae of delectable, fun-to-drive compact
33.36 -> machines. The GTI was redesigned for the 2022
model year, complete with updated styling and
40.08 -> more modern interior features, but it still
possesses the fun to drive nature that makes
44.28 -> it a performance icon. A turbocharged, 2-liter,
241-hp four-cylinder is under the hood and powers
51.84 -> the front wheels through either a seven speed
automatic or—a six-speed manual transmission.
57.48 -> Its cabin is spacious in both the front
and the back and, like every GTI since
61.8 -> the nameplate’s inception, there’s plenty
of room for cargo under the hatchback door.
66.54 -> Whether you are new to speedy boxes on wheels or
have been a faithful GTI fan since the early days,
71.64 -> this latest rendition is as fun loving as when
the original first arrived on these shores.
77.16 -> For a GTI turned up to eleven, check out
the Golf R, which boasts 315 horsepower,
82.8 -> standard all-wheel drive, and
similarly brilliant handling.
87.12 -> The interior of GTI is modern and
minimalist, but the infotainment
91.08 -> system lacks sufficient physical controls,
which can make adjusting settings a chore.
96.18 -> Still, it delivers grin-inducing performance,
plenty of cargo space and a fairly spacious cabin.
102.3 -> In this video, we are talking about the
2023 model of The Volkswagen Golf GTI.
108.24 -> But before we get into the video, make sure
to like this video, subscribe to our channel,
112.86 -> and hit the bell icon to get the latest updates.
Performance.
118.02 -> The 2023 Golf GTI is powered by a turbocharged
2-liter four cylinder that develops 241 horsepower
125.28 -> and 273 pound-feet of torque. That's an
increase of 13 horses and 15 pound-feet
131.88 -> versus its predecessor, but that power is
still routed to the front wheels through
135.66 -> either a standard six-speed manual transmission
or an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
141.18 -> GTI with the auto 'box has smart shifts and
helps deliver the hatch to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
148.68 -> The VW's expertly tuned chassis deserves more
praise than ever, with its sharp responses and
153.96 -> not-too-firm, not-too-soft ride quality. The
latter was experienced in a top-spec Autobahn
159.72 -> model, which comes with adjustable adaptive
dampers and a set of 19-inch wheels wearing summer
164.4 -> tires. Nothing puts a damper on spirited driving
like a soft brake pedal, but the GTI provides
170.52 -> firm feedback and noteworthy stopping power,
halting the hatch from 70 mph in just 151 feet.
177.66 -> Ride and Handling.
The GTI is a blast to drive thanks to direct,
182.4 -> well-weighted steering and a suspension
that balances performance and ride comfort.
187.26 -> Not only is the new GTI quicker in a straight
line, but the limited-slip differential and
192.12 -> available adaptive suspension work to provide
excellent traction and cornering abilities.
197.28 -> Also, the brakes provide confident stopping power.
200.94 -> Interior.
The 2023 GTI has a sleek and
205.14 -> sporty interior, but it doesn’t feel as premium as
past iterations of the iconic hot hatch. Although
211.38 -> the cabin is well-built, there are a lot of cheap
build materials that are difficult to overlook.
216.48 -> Its cabin is spacious in both the front
and the back and like every GTI since the
220.68 -> nameplate’s inception, there’s plenty of
room for cargo under the hatchback door.
225.3 -> It is a two-row hatchback that seats up to five
people. The front row is a nice place to be,
231 -> with well-padded and bolstered sports seats
that provide enough comfort for longer trips
235.14 -> and keep you firmly in place during high-speed
cornering. The rear seats are comfortable,
239.94 -> but taller passengers might feel cramped
from the lack of sufficient legroom.
244.38 -> There’s 19.9 cubic feet of space behind the
second row and 34.5 cubic feet with the rear seats
250.98 -> folded. Those are great figures for the segment.
Infotainment Technology.
254.16 -> The GTI's infotainment system runs through a
standard 10-inch touchscreen. Unfortunately, it's
260.88 -> primarily operated via touch-sensitive sliders
instead of more intuitive buttons and knobs.
266.46 -> Along with a couple of charging ports, the
system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
272.16 -> These familiar phone apps and menu structures will
help offset VW's otherwise busy and potentially
277.56 -> distracting interface.
Fuel Economy.
281.34 -> The most efficient Golf GTI model is the one
with the automatic transmission, which earned
286.08 -> ratings of 25 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. Opting
for the six-speed manual reduces fuel economy in
294.36 -> the city by 1 mpg.
Safety.
298.2 -> The IIHS gives it a Top Safety Pick+ nod
when equipped with upgraded LED headlights.
304.62 -> Standard fare includes automatic emergency
braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane
309.6 -> control, blind-spot monitors, and parking sensors
(front and rear) all come standard. GTI Autobahn
317.16 -> models add park assist and automatic high beams.
Pricing.
321.9 -> Its estimated price starts at around $31,000.
That's all for today. Thank you for taking the
